"Several years ago it was recognized that the cGAS-STING system was a key part of the inflammation seen in microglial cells in the aging brain (and in the brains of people with neurodegenerative diseases). And this new paper has tracked down further details: the reason this inflammatory pathway has been set off is the leakage of DNA from damaged mitochondria in those microglial cells."

The modern use of placebos in research owes a lot to anesthesiologist Henry K. Beecher and a landmark paper he wrote shining a spotlight on these sugar pills.

Sloppy by today’s standards, and maybe even back when it was published in 1955, Beecher’s paper paved the way for sounder drug trials and pushed scientists to better understand how we process pain

"When leptin failed, he tried a different gut hormone, ghrelin, whose effects were the opposite of leptin’s. The more ghrelin an animal had, the more it would eat. Perhaps a drug that blocked ghrelin would make people lose weight.

“Again, it wasn’t that simple,” said Dr. Tschöp, who left Lilly in 2002."
